i have a very good friend from Venezuela, who is home, visiting her parents this summer. they don’t live in a big city like Caracas, they live in a smaller city in the hinterlands. she knows what Chavez is doing there, she emailed me yesterday to say he’d closed 34 radio stations over the weekend. there was a directive signed a few weeks back, saying children over 3 were to be turned over to some state-run grupo infantil.She said Chavez SAID he was going to do all of this stuff prior to his election, but no one believed him, thought he was CRAZY, but he is doing it. all of it. she sees everyone living the daily life as always, she said if you don’t know what’s going on with chavez and just look at the people going about their daily lives, you’d never know. so now i realize, America is at an earlier stage, but it’s the same thing. people want to burrow down into the familiarity of daily life, the daily routine and block out the unpleasantness of what their gov’t is doing to them. i just pray to God that Americans are of sterner stock and that someone can WAKE THEM UP before it’s too late.
My husband and I believe something is going to happen, and Glenn Beck even said as much on his show, that it’s going to take one event, one major issue or happening, and people are going to rise up.
I don’t condone violence by any means, but I know this government will not back down by peaceful means. And I also know (and hear) many are just waiting....for the right moment. You can only antagonize a rattling snake for so long, before it strikes.
